PETERBOROUGH, N.H. — Friends, family and strangers yesterday honored a New Hampshire Marine and volunteer firefighter killed in Afghanistan as a selfless man who was destined to serve his country at an emotional service at the high school where he had graduated just last year.

Cpl. Brandon Garabrant, 19, who was killed June 20 by a roadside bomb, was laid to rest in front of about 1,000 mourners at ConVal Regional High School. He was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart and promoted to corporal.
